Cyberpunk 2077's launch in December 2020 was one of the most disastrous in recent memory, but now, three-and-a-half years later, developer CD Projekt is finally done fixing it.
Agreed on the issues, among a few others, but I really do think they turned the game around and we got a better product than we could have ever really hoped for from launch. I do hope more time and care is put into bugs and immersion detail for the sequel. If cdpr can create a world as immersive at Rockstar does with GTA and RDR, Cyberpunk would be unstoppable.
i sure hope they don’t copy rockstar. Watching ma horse’s balls shrink in the cold while my character painstakingly rummages through the coats and drawers of all the enemies i just killed is not immersive. I don’t need a simulation of the boring parts of life. I have the real life for that.
The immersive detail I was speaking of is more in line with the earlier comment about NPC and vehicle variety, npc behavior, world events, etc. The kind of immersion that helps the world feel more alive. You can argue the Rockstar adds in some wild and unnecessary mechanics and details, but they’re great at making a world feel lived in.
That’s actually pretty unbelievable considering they overhauled entire gamplay and features. I can understand not enjoying the game and what it offers, but there are incredibly clear differences in most of the mechanics, even if the story didn’t change.
You must not have actually played the game early on and instead just drank the CDPR kool-aid. I can assure you the gameplay is exactly the same as it was on launch and the “features” are still just a loose collection of half-assed systems, the majority of which aren’t even necessary to complete the game.
Bought it and played it on launch. Probably played for 30 hours before I stopped because of the bugs. I returned after Phantom Liberty on a completely new save file and ended up loving it.
And now your argument is different. Instead of no differences, now they’re “half-assed”. The gameplay features are /not/ all the same. It sounds more like /you/ didn’t play the game. Sorry, you didnt like the game. But I did.

I finished the game at launch and I played the game a month ago and it was hard to see the differences. I’d still give it a 3/10.
